I've been using this product for about 2 years now, I am a Retired US Marine who has spend a lifetime in the sun, this is one of the best products I've ever used, my only complaint is that it doesn't come in a higher spf, like 30 or so.

Daily Defense Block SPF15 makes my husband's skin look A.M.A.Z.I.N.G! His skin was starting to look dry and tight, but now that he uses this it looks healthy, soft, touchable... and more youthful! He uses this after the Clean Bar and the results have really made a noticeable difference!

I'm in my early 30's and have been using Dermalogica since I was 25. For several years, I've used Daily Defense Block and it is the perfect moisturizer and daily sun protection for men with active lifestyles. My skin is looking better than many of my friends and I attribute a lot that to this product and my early commitment to Dermalogica.

This product does what it promises - and exceeds expectations. It is a light non-greasy moisturizer that protects your skin and, for me, absolutely reduces ingrown hairs. I use it every day after shaving. I was a little worried about the packaging at first but as it turns out this is a very well-designed plastic pump that delviers the product is small amounts. This is great because a little of this moisturizer goes a long way - it's that good. I highly recomend this for anyone, but especially if you have a combination of tough beard and sensitive skin like me. Combine it with the aftershave balm and you have a terrific one-two punch (but it works great as a stand-alone moisturizer too). I have used this product for three months so far and cannot say enough good things about it. Finally - a product that delivers on its promise!

Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. We don't necessarily use the term non-comedogenic. Because, what may cause me to breakout, may not cause you to breakout. That being said, this product is light weight and a lot of people love it for daily use. If you do not like it, you can return it within 30 days.

Kind Regards,The Dermalogica Team

Q:

'Daily' usage even when not shaving daily?: I have been using this product for a couple of months now and am curious whether I am applying it correctly. I am 19 years old and only shave every 3 days or so in the evening, because in the mornings I am always too busy to do so.

My question is, should I be using this product every day, even if I haven't shaved that day? Or is there an alternative product I could use when I haven't had a shave instead? I have combination skin which does get quite shiny with this particular product (which I don't mind because it is a great product, I am just curious if I have more options!)

Also, should I apply it in the evening which I have shaved AND that morning after? Or should I really change my routine and always shave in the mornings to get better usage?

Thank you for your inquiry. Daily Defense is a moisturizer that is meant to be used every day. If you feel that this moisturizer is too heavy try using less. You only need half a pea size amount for the face. You should apply moisturizer morning and night regardless if you have shaved or not. On days that you have shaved we recommend using Post Shave Balm. This cooling and calming balm will help to sooth skin and can also be used as a light weight moisturizer without sunscreen.
